Area Under the Curve From Time Zero to Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUClast)

Area under the plasma concentration time-curve from zero (pre-dose) to the last measured concentration (AUClast).

Time frame: 0 (pre-dose), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14 hours (hrs) post-dose

Population: Pharmacokinetic parameter analysis population included all randomized and treated participants who had at least 1 of the pharmacokinetic parameters of primary interest in at least 1 treatment period.

ArmMeasureValue (GEOMETRIC_MEAN)Dispersion
Sildenafil 50 mg (Fasted)Area Under the Curve From Time Zero to Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUClast)813.20 ng*hr/mLStandard Deviation 186.29
Sildenafil 50 mg (Fed)Area Under the Curve From Time Zero to Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUClast)712.80 ng*hr/mLStandard Deviation 245.58
Comparison: Natural log transformed AUClast of sildenafil was analyzed using a mixed effect model with sequence, period and treatment as fixed effects and participant within sequence as a random effect. The adjusted mean differences and 90% confidence intervals for the differences were exponentiated to provide estimates of the ratio of adjusted geometric means (Test/Reference) and 90% confidence intervals for the ratios.90% CI: [77.62, 98.99]

Area Under the Curve From Time Zero to Extrapolated Infinite Time [AUC (0-∞)]

AUC (0-∞) = Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) from time zero (pre-dose) to extrapolated infinite time (0-∞). It is obtained from AUC (0-t) plus AUC (t-∞).

Time frame: 0 (pre-dose), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14 hrs post-dose

Population: Pharmacokinetic parameter analysis population included all randomized and treated participants who had at least 1 of the pharmacokinetic parameters of primary interest in at least 1 treatment period. Here, the 'N' (number of participants analyzed) is signifying those participants who were evaluable for this measure.
